Hi,
I have successfully installed Knoppmyth with a PVR-350. I also did a previous installation with a bt878 card which was autodetected fine.

My problem is to use the combination of the two.
I got the PVR-350 fine but I can't set the tuner right for the bttv

Here is the output of the dmesg

Code:

As you can see it looks that the setting for the ivtv tuner goes to the bttv card.

And here my cards configurations:

ivtv
Code:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
options ivtv debug=1
options tuner type=44
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=1
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c ivtv-fb
post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -u 0x3000
post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video16 -u 0x3000
post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video32 -u 0x3000
post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/ivtvctl -d /dev/video224 -u 0x3000


bttv1
Code:
alias char-major-81-1 bttv debug=2
#post-install bttv insmod tuner type=2

#alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#options i2c-core i2c_debug=1
#options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
#alias char-major-81 videodev
#alias char-major-81-1 bttv debug=2
#options bttv card=40 pll=1 tuner=2


I tried to put the tuner option and other options (commented in this example) but it did not help out.

Am I doing anything wrong ?

you may have a PVR-350 with a new tuner still not supported in an official kernel release. Try this:

modprobe tveeprom
dmesg|grep idx

You should get something like:

tvee: tuner=LG NTSC (TAPE series) (idx=68, type=47)

(yours would probably read tuner=unknown"

If you have idx=68 then you have the same tuner I've got. You have to patch the kernel sources and recompile modules. I have a couple of diff files to patch the kernel source that comes with R4V5. Email if you want them. My gmail account is spectro @ gmail.com

Now that I changed the ivtv file as you said both tuners are set to 2 which make the bttv card work now but also get my pvr 350 stuck on a channel.

Here is the output of the modprobe:
tvee: tuner=<unknown> (idx=68, type=-1)

Is there a way to force the tuner to 44 for the pvr350 and to 2 for the bttv card without going the recompile route ?

Thank you for helping.

For idx=68 use tuner=47, not 44. You need to patch video4linux in the kernel to support this new tuner. You can also use tuner=39 without recompiling, but you wont be able to see channels > 61

I get all the channels on the PVR350 with tuner=44. BTW tuner=39 does not get any channel on the PVR350 for me.
My problem is that both tuners are set to the same number whatever I tried so far.
Will recompiling help in this respect ?

I finally got it working without updating the ivtv driver :D

Do not use the:
options tuner type=XX

This will set the same tuner type to all the tuners
Also if you read your dmesg output you can see that it is obsolete.
Instead use:

Code:
options ivtv tuner=xx

for the ivtv file
and
Code:
options bttv tuner=yy

for the bttv1 file

I recorded 2 shows at the same time to do a test.
Unfortunately the show recorded on the bttv is to slow when played on the pvr350 output (using the PVR350 X driver) and I don't have the sound as it is played with the onboard sound card and not the PVR350 :roll:

I guess I will have to tweak the resolution as my set top box (Activy 300) is already using the 2 pci slots for the tv cards and is already maxed out (1400 Mhz celeron and 256 MB RAM).
